A new report shows that private jet travel saw massive increases as thousands of commercial flights were being canceled.

It's perturbing yet somehow delightful that Elise Stefanik is a dead ringer for Bari Weiss, a.k.a. Schmoopie. The only diff is that Bari wears studious glasses & is flanked by an elite unit of buff catalogue models, but otherwise they could be twins or maybe the same "op" hoaxing and hexing us.

So for Democrats mad about the Senate voting to end the shutdown because voters don't want it-- which voters are they referring to?
The 22 million people who'll pay more for insurance, or 44 million who are destitute?

As millions of Americans now rely on charity thanks to Trump's refusal to fund SNAP, I thought it interesting to see what religious groups provide the most charity to the poor.
